List broken; now fixed
by Greg Newby 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Apologies that the list was bouncing all day today (after around 9am US Eastern Daylight Time). I botched a setting in Postfix, and didn't realize it until 13 hours later! It looks like anyone who submitted to the list would have received a bounce message (complaining about spamc), and the message was not received or processed. You'll need to resend if you want the message to go to the cypherpunks list. The good news is I had a pleasant day outdoors, out and about (alone!) on the trails where I live. Rather than sitting in front of my computer all day. The bad news is it was evident in about 2 seconds that something was wrong, when I checked my mail, because I had not received any messages since this morning. Not even spam! Mea culpa. Things now seem to be fixed. Let the conversation continue! - Greg

NASA Warns Two Asteroids Could Cause Atmospheric Explosion Over Earth This Week https://www.zerohedge.com/health/nasa-warns-two-asteroids-could-cause-atmos… https://themindunleashed.com/2020/03/nasa-warns-two-asteroids-could-cause-a… As if 2020 weren’t overwhelming enough, in addition to the potential start of World War 3, the massive fires in Australia, the locust plague in the Middle East and Africa, and the novel coronavirus, we are now dealing with multiple asteroids hurtling towards Earth. One of the asteroids may even collide with Earth’s atmosphere resulting in an atmospheric explosion tonight! https://www.zmescience.com/science/asteroid-close-approach-airburst-135134/ ... In more apocalyptic news, "If you don't want to slut-shame, then you're going to get a lot of sluts:" If You Don’t Shame Sluts, You Will End Up with a Slut Overload http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/if-you-dont-shame-sluts-you-will-end-up-with-… [img] "It's My Hot Body, I'll Do What I Want" A novel male feminist argument that I have seen popping up recently in defense of sluts is that “women don’t have agency,” and thus cannot be held responsible for their behavior, whatever it is. The theory then goes that men are responsible for all female behavior, because men do have “agency.” Let’s first make sure we understand our terms. What do they mean when they speak of “agency”? They are talking about the philosophical concept of “moral agency” or “human agency.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(philosophy) Agency is the capacity of an actor to act in a given environment. The capacity to act does not at first imply a specific moral dimension to the ability to make the choice to act, and moral agency is therefore a distinct concept. In sociology, an agent is an individual engaging with the social structure. Notably, though, the primacy of social structure vs. individual capacity with regard to persons’ actions is debated within sociology. This debate concerns, at least partly, the level of reflexivity an agent may possess. Agency may either be classified as unconscious, involuntary behavior, or purposeful, goal directed activity (intentional action). An agent typically has some sort of immediate awareness of their physical activity and the goals that the activity is aimed at realizing. In ‘goal directed action’ an agent implements a kind of direct control or guidance over their own behavior. If women “don’t have agency,” then the argument is that all women are literally mindless, soulless automatons, who are incapable of engaging in free will choice. It follows then that the behavior of women, and the actions that they do take, are based entirely on external factors, as they do not have any internal capacity for decision making. [img] "Libre Mientras Sigan Habiendo Doofus" The logical conclusion from this line of reasoning is that men need to build a structured society wherein there are solid incentives for women to behave in certain ways. This would involve both positive and negative reinforcement. So we must ask: what behaviors do we want to encourage from women, and which do we want to discourage? Presumably, we all have a similar idea about this. Good female behavior: [ok, so we know for a fact that this is gonna go down reeeel well with the anarchist crowd :D] - Modesty - Marriage at a young age - Producing many children - Obeying husband - Staying loyal to husband Bad female behavior: - Sluttiness - Refusing marriage in favor of seeking “adventure” and a career - Refusing to produce children, taking birth control, having abortions - Marrying in late twenties or early thirties - Getting a divorce Currently, the government and the media are the only groups which are able to offer most incentives to women. However, there is one form of negative reinforcement that we can all engage in and that is “slut-shaming.” Slut-shaming has a huge effect on women, as they respond very strongly to negative social pressure. If a woman feels like men and other women think she is a slut, she feels very bad about herself. Thus, if a woman sees that another woman has been labeled a slut for engaging in a certain type of behavior, she is likely to avoid that behavior. So, for example, if a woman has sex with a disgusting Jew Hollywood producer, and everyone calls her a filthy slut, other women will see that and say “I’d better not have sex with a disgusting Jew Hollywood producer, or people will label me a filthy slut.” [img] "Men of Simping Quality, Respect Women's Equality" Conversely, if a woman who has sex with a disgusting Jew Hollywood producer is labeled a victim, and is celebrated for her bravery, you are giving positive reinforcement to the behavior pattern. This discussion of “moral agency” is convoluted and esoteric. There is clearly no way to see inside of a woman’s head and understand the mechanisms upon which her decision process acts. What we are able to see is that women are extremely sensitive to social shaming, and that they will act accordingly to how society ranks their behavior. If we decide that as a society, we will not shame sluts, then our society is going to end up with a lot of sluts. I do not think that any of us want a society full of sluts, and thus I think we should all be able to agree on the fact that we should shame sluts by calling them out as sluts. [img] "F*@k Robin Thicke" This will make women feel bad. That is the point of negative reinforcement. It is used to make an example of women who engage in bad behavior so that other women will not engage in that behavior. The problem is that neo-Nazis and other male feminists, being agents of women, will always work to remove any and all consequences for the behavior of women, so that women are able to do whatever they want without facing any consequences.

> What may be most striking about the George Floyd video is not that it was > recorded, but that it was so very widely (and intensively) disseminated by > those legacy media. TV and media are rarely permitted to show people getting shot, bloodsport violence, any visible actual point of death, etc. In regard, Floyd met the same parameters as wrestling match might. More remarkable to have made it past some of media's masters, even if only a miscalculation. If you want to see some real violence of Power, YouTube used to carry some of it till they sold out to Censorship. Now you must search the internet and overlay networks. Or just watch any footage of war, homeless, hungry, infirm, courts, prison systems, lawmaking bodies, elections, politicians, and their police, etc. Another reason a few made TV is they're in desperate competition with Alternative Internet Media, in effect they must air some more things to remain relevant, thus more willing to risk permission/master. > Now consider the inverse: are there similar videos out there that remained > unknown? Are there other videos of a similar nature (police violence > against African Americans) that received less attention, i.e. less > dissemination? Perhaps the problem is actually bigger than we know. Don't let media and masters spin and divert you (against each other)... likely less about police against Black, more likely problem about Power against everyone... of which the former is one large result. There are thousands of videos of the latter that media never disseminated, it doesn't fit their [perhaps temporarily former] narratives, cashflows, masters. Defeating latter stops former too, whereas just former does little to latter. > The control of dissemination is probably the biggest issue we face today in > liberation technology. Further behind is wide index search and syndication API across the extant and coming distributed overlay media services.

speak the truth -- was Re: Trifield

Leo, that audio is nothing but brazen, classic, fear programming - extremely well done psychological "programming": - everything Trump does is/was planned by us Jews - Israel owns Trump - too many are waking up for our liking (true) - we Jews had plans to target individuals with death, but now millions are waking up (probably true) - now you should be in fear as we have plans to round up and kill all those millions - it is taking years to track everybody, connect email accounts to youtube accounts, that's why it has not happened yet - this a lie, not true, it is actually pretty close to instantaneous to do this tracking (when you control all the databases) - etc etc I hear this as a literally desperate Final Act attempt to try vehemently to use fear to cause folks to stop exposing the Jewish agendas out of fear. Not much is more pathetic than humans cowering in fear and not even speaking truth ... because they're afraid. The right -- no, the DUTY to speak the truth, to speak God's truth, to speak that which you know in your heart and conscience to be TRUE, is so fundamental to having any dignity as a human, that to fail to speak truth might as well be the end of that person's life! Certain physical fights are beyond the ability of some individuals, but speaking the plain and honest, simple truth, is a sacred duty of every human who wishes to be considered even remotely worthy of keeping their mangey bodies. If humans do NOT speak the truth when they are in fear, THEN they may lose their physical body - and THAT is hard to argue against... Keep speaking truth my friend - it's all that many have left to make it worth living at all...

> all-user end-to-end encryption on services like Zoom in China, Zoom is selling out its majority userbase (free users) by forcing those users clients to use fake non-e2e-encryption. And there are some big names involved in advising them to do that, and continuing to advise them when they should be quitting in vocal protest against Zoom and the surveillors and the Four Horseman FUD they're all shilling. > because of the Chinese govt’s likelihood of intercepting China hardly such global advanced actor in that as USA. But it sure makes great TV news to distract you from Power over you, doesn't it. Gotcha. > The US’s NSA can crack any encryption in the world and listen to any > communications it wants. There is rational debate. Yet any such capabilities, for which there are plenty historical reference of earlier programs, are only used in diplomatic and quiet observatory spheres, to get the drop, to headoff and pretext the masses, etc. Presidential and higher levels only, never anything vanilla obvious like court cases (not even capability to de-location-anonymize tor via traffic analysis and sybil gets approved for exposure in court). Until someone posts the jewels, you won't know many capabilities directly, and far too many people have taken Governments dirty laundry and secrets with them to their graves. Shame upon them. Of course China wholesale rapes its billion "citizens" with its surveillance, opensource observation set, commercial partners, targeting capabilities, same as USA does... against everyone in order to maintain political power and control over free humans. Who would entirely discard notion of such not so surprising a conglomeration of effectives, now happening at near realtime fiber speed these days instead of horse and buggy delay. These "tap and surveill it all" policies and programs tell you there is, among other things, something quite fun you should be doing... encrypt everything by default and if they try to thieve, shutdown, jail, and murder you for it, which they will... then instead of taking the knee and partner with such false "authority" of Government like Zoom did, all the while proselytizing some Four Horseman bullshit FUD... rise up, overthrow the governments, and dont start any more of them. Your incessant adoption of their political memes and systems of enslavement over you, such as democracy... seems slowly fucking you over, sapping your beautiful free human life force. Much more rapidly now by using their centralized technology the last 25 years... WeChat, WePay, Central Banks, identity, travel, registration and permission and digital tracking schemes for everything you do, forever... an endless list one could make of your own diminishing freedom and demise at their hands, using your technology. Long since due to wake the fuck up and revolt en masse. You didn't need them or it decades to millenia ago, and you don't now, or ever in the future. Till then keep watching TV news and politicians, telling you it's about China, Russia, USA, Black vs White people, whatever it is you're supposed to believe from them each month... No, it's ongoing creep of Power over you. And it's working. Not least made obvious by fact Zoom probably gave away another 10M free editions of its scamware to wildly cheering unsuspecting users worldwide last month alone. Where indeed are those leveraging technology toward a real state of Liberation? Apparently fallen to readying "voting" machine "technology" in five months to support even more of their "democratic" force, theft, prison, and murder over other harmless people. Kudos "Liberators". BTW, YouTube just got forced to delete another major distributed cryptocurrency channel. Wake Up!!!
